Factors Impacting Implementations

Archway’s implementation approach is unique because of the discipline it provides all aspects of a project, from methodology and project management to documentation and knowledge transfer. The AIM incorporates a systemic approach to solution deployment, taking into account the interrelationships that shape the behavior of business systems.

There are several “pressure points” that can dramatically affect the overall timeline and cost of an ATWeb implementation, such as the following:

  • General complexity of the entities
  • Desired level of procedural design (significant focus on internal controls within the organization)
  • Number of customizations required
  • Amount of historical data to convert
  • Condition of historical data to convert (i.e. usable electronic format vs. manual or hardcopy)
  • Number of systems with which ATWeb must integrate
  • Number of end users requiring training
  • Number of Client personnel available to participate in the implementation effort
